Fashion Friday: Olivia Pope. It’s Handled.

If you’ve been perusing my Facebook or Twitter you know that I am currently obsessed with Scandal. I’m midway through season 3 and VERY stressed that Jake Ballard is about to bite it (how cute is Scott Foley? I’ve loved him since Felicity.) Anywhoo, I both love and am epically annoyed by Olivia Pope. She’s bad ass, but also has a meme-worthy cryface/ stressface that drives me nuts. But she also has some killer fashion. So let’s take a peek at some of my faves and then I’ll show my OP picks….

Girl has some seriously awesome coats and blazers…

And she loves a good bateau neck top (also she makes me want to replace everything in my wardrobe with white stuff). Hi Fitz.

More killer jackets. That pink one at right made me weep with jealousy.

Her evening wear- lots of black and white color-blocking and one gorgeous gold number.

LEATHER OPERA GLOVES. Duh. Why didn’t I think of that? Super perfect for holding a chilled glass of champagne in front of a DC monument.

Even her workout gear is perfect…and of course, white. But that swimsuit would have some serious drag for swimming laps in.

I have never wanted satin pajamas until now. It’s all about the stain pajamas and cashmere sweaters with OP.

So here are some of my Olivia Pope picks- streamlined, whites, neutrals and some black and seriously awesome coats ( oh, and pretty undies for secret rendezvous with the president, of course).

I love Scandal, as you know. I have to say I may be the only person on the planet who has had some issues with OP’s attire, though. Now and then – more than once, though not always – her pants have been awkwardly too short and unflattering. It’s always the pants I have an issue with. Love the color palette, I have to admit! xo

Oh Erin once again, thanks for nailing it. Dying over jackets/sweaters and giant ” I mean bizniz” handbags! But the squinched up nose awkward/ baring upper teeth bunny face she makes when she’s hAving a feeling are painful. Glad you’ve come over to the dark side with us.

I really enjoyed this post–thank you! I have not watched this series yet, but the fashion alone makes me want to. One of my goals for 2014 is to inject more glamour in the wardrobe, and you’ve provided lots of inspiration here! Love these looks!
